THE LOUVRE, AN INSPIRATION

The old Law Courts, built in 1877, are housed in a monumental building with neo-Renaissance elements by the architects and brothers, Lode and Frans Baeckelmans. The architectural design drew inspiration from the Louvre in Paris. The bronze monuments at the entrance symbolize 'law' and 'justice'. The building was extended in 1911 and 1929 due to a lack of space.

In 2006 the city decided to move most of the departments to the new Law Courts in Bolivarplaats.
